Fast ground has seen AN TAILLIUR hit top form and he bids to land a quick hat-trick. A recent winner at both Market Rasen and Worcester, he looks worth sticking with given the favourable conditions underfoot. Getthepot opened his account when scoring at Ayr but is 10lb higher today while Thomas Kershaw’s recent victory at Uttoxeter came in maiden company. Bay Of Intrigue looks no nearer winning having run poorly at Ffos Las a couple of days ago.
Thomas Kershaw (IRE) 80-1 (11-4) Made all, led, not fluent 3 out, shaken up when pressed 2 out, led narrowly last, kept on gamely run-in, won at Uttoxeter 2m mdn (4) gd in May beating Nashville Nipper (11-4) by 5 1/2l, 14 ran.
Getthepot (IRE) 7-2 (11-3) Held up in midfield, ridden after 9th, rapid headway before 2 out, ridden to lead before last, stayed on strongly flat, won at Ayr 2m 4f hcp (5) gs in May beating The Electrician (11-3) by 9l, 17 ran.
An Tailliur (FR) 8-11fav (11-13) Held up in touch in mid-division, improved 4 out, not fluent 3 out, challenged before last, led flat, soon clear, readily, won at Worcester 2m 4f hcp (5) gd in May beating Clearly Capable (11-1) by 8 1/2l, 15 ran.
Bay Of Intrigue 16-1 (11-0) Took keen hold in last, not always fluent, no impression from 3 out, 7th of 8, 26l behind The Macon Lugnatic (11-10) at Ffos Las 2m 4f hcp (4) gs in May.
